Tudor SC Regatta Weekend
Saturday 9th September / Sunday 10th September

Our club regatta weekend is fast approaching, and we would like to invite all members to come and participate in a fun weekend on the water.

Cruiser Racing – There will be 2 races, 1 on the Saturday and 1 on the Sunday, with both races counting towards a 2 race regatta series.

Dinghy Racing – The club dinghy racing will take place on Saturday 9th September. There will be 3 short races, of approximately 30-45 minutes in duration, run from the club committee boat. The courses will be simple, sausage or triangles. Experienced youth sailors are encouraged to participate in the club dinghy races as well the junior races on the Sunday.

Junior (Mudlarks) Racing – The club dinghy racing will take place on Saturday 9th September. There will be 3 short races, of approximately 30-45 minutes in duration, run from the club committee boat. The courses will be simple, sausage or triangles.

There will be a BBQ after the sailing on both days, with a fine selection of drinks from the Bar (as usual), and a prize giving ceremony on each day, once the results have been processed.

Sailing Instructions for the event are attached to this tidal diamond and also available on the club’s website.

If you have any questions, please contact Richard Barnes (see below).

Barts Bash 2017
Sunday 17 September, 09:45

Bart’s Bash, launched in 2014, is the world’s largest sailing event that is run by sailing clubs, community sailing programmes, sail training centres, yacht clubs, scout groups, sea cadets and even groups of sailors, all around the world.

The main aims of the event are to increase international awareness of participation in sailing, and to raise funds for the Foundation to help support a range of sustainable projects, using sailing to improve the lives of children and young people globally.

• Barts Bash is open to all members of Tudor Sailing Club, young & old!
• It is a FUN race
• It does not matter if you have never raced before – this is a great opportunity to learn.
• It is a very simple course, held in front of the club house

A briefing will be given before the race, so if you are new to racing, you can ask lots of questions to help you get started.

We ask all competitors to pre-register your entry by clicking on the website link below:

Available Bar and Galley Duties

Open Forum Volunteers

On the 12th October Tudor is hosting an Open Forum for the Langstone Harbour Board Advisory Committee. Club members are invited to attend, and I will be providing more details in a later TD. At the moment I am looking for a couple of volunteers to help serve tea and coffee in the refreshment break, and if anyone is available to have the bar open as well that would be even better. The event runs from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. In addition to my Charman’s introduction there will be talks from Southern Water on the “Bathing Water Enhancement Programme“, the Hampshire and IoW Wildlife Trust on “Milton Locks Nature Reserve” and Natural England on “The proposed Coastal Path“, so it should be an interesting evening and the only ‘work’ is during a short refreshment break mid way through.

If you can help out please contact me at the email address below, or this TD address.
